Interesting thought. I cannot imagine supporting SqueezePlay until at least next calendar year, given what else I have to do, how little time I've found for this stuff of late, and how much needs to be done. As you know well, ContextMenu does not offer any UI abstraction, and it would need some UI abstraction to be viable on SP interfaces. Taking your thought a step further... if Logitech won't support "+" for more/context menu on old/IP3K players, maybe ContextMenu should offer the current Add actions as context menu choices and hijack "+" so that it makes IP3K devices behave more like the new SP gear? I worry about the disrepancy between UIs... I have a house full of SB3s, and if Touch behaves differently, it will be harder for me to mix-and-match SB3 and Touch, and I'd be more likely to stick with the old hardware. Perhaps having ContextMenu hijack "+"/Add would help minimize the differences and make it easier to incorporate new gear or slowly migrate to a "colony" of SqueezePlay-based devices. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver ContextMenu FuzzyTime KidsPlay KitchenTimer PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67826 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
